Growing in our grasp of historical lore helps us understand who we are and tunes our imagination to all that is possible. It makes our arguments deeper and richer. However, because history contains so much, teach..." Tag: Visual edit: Switched

• 21:2421:24, 25 September 2025 diff hist +3,076 N Poetry Curriculum Created page with "Poetry is currently separate from the rest of the literature curriculum because it is undeniably insular. Most poems are not about worldview or history or narrative or society. Poetry is about itself and perpetual things: God, life and death, sex, aging, the seasons. (Poems that do directly speak to history and society are included in the history curriculum.) This curriculum is intended to initiate students into that rarest of traits: genuine appreciation of poetry. I..." Tag: Visual edit

While nothing can substitute for close reading, the most efficient way to make students generally confident and adept at textual interpretation is by providing context -- that is, as broad a survey of world literature and history as possible so that they can notice parallels and themes spanning all times and places, while also foregrounding idiosyncrasies. That's not t..." Tag: Visual edit

His music suggests the contemplative devotion and purity of Gregorian plainchant and Renaissance church chorale, though it could only have been written today, being at once archaic and abstract-modern. With its sense of stasis and light, the music reflects the immensity of the Baltic landscape and Estonia’s own forested plains. Under communism, Pärt f..." current Tag: Visual edit
